Another great book that is clear and thought provoking

One of the best ways to be introduced to the Dharma.

This is a no-nonsense book on Buddhism and perhaps the most exceptional one I've ever read. The subtitle "Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs" is why I chose this particular book. I believe that beliefs are sometimes so unbelievable that they are hard to believe.

This is a wonderful book reviewing/ exploring Zen Buddhism. It gives a perfect mix of history, anecdotes, and real world guidance. Paul Heitsch's narration was relaxing while still engaging.

Listened using Chirpbooks.com.

Someone else needs to read this book and talk to me about it because it was low key a mind f*ck

It's all flux, and there's only now.
I really think his previous book (Buddhism Plain & Simple) is quite good. This one was enjoyable, but a bit too repetitive, general &"self-help-y" for my taste.

One of the best books you will find on Buddhism. Hagen gives clear descriptions of Buddhist thought and in a way that gives the reader a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts that are key to understanding the Buddha's message. Highly recommended.

Couldn't finish it, though I had not finishing books. Bland attempt at applied philosophy, makes zen sound so much worse than it is. Better off just rereading Zen Mind Beginner Mind again.

A very thought provoking book. BreAks it down into very believable parts.

Beautifully written - I'm learning a lot. A very detailed deposition of modern Buddhism that debunks the western-hemisphere initiated misunderstandings and biases towards the ONLY life philosophy that Albert Einstein mentioned as being worthy of further consideration.

This could have been interesting if he hadn't reiterated his only message on every single page. Instead it was just incredibly boring.

The message is in the title - don't bother reading the book.

Couldn't understand half of it.. Particularly after reading conversation with God -1 , I feel it's boring in comparison. It seems to carry the same message but isn't presented well. I am quiet disappointed .
